“The book isn’t just a celebration of the past, but an encouragement to see what we can learn to help us today” (Scipes, p. ix, 2026,). Dr. Kim Scipes’ Unions, Race, and Popular Democracy: Building A Progressive Labor Movement is a commemoration of one union’s distinctive approach to social justice unionism that should change the way that we think about organizing not only in the workplace, but in any response to important issues around the world. Though centered in labor activism from a sociological lens, the findings and framing of Scipes’ work produce an analysis critical for Northwest Indiana and […]

By Zachery Suaco, Communications and Social Media Intern at the Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN) I grew up knowing what climate disaster looked like before I had a word for it.

Burkina Faso’s military leader has styled himself as the political heir to Thomas Sankara. However, the substance of Traoré’s record since taking power in 2022 is much less ambitious than Sankara’s agenda as president in the 1980s.

September 9, 2026 Traverse City, Mich. — Today, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and her administration issued a consequential new statement on Enbridge’s proposed Line 5 pipeline tunnel through the Straits of Mackinac, telling the Canadian company that it’s time to pull back from its tunnel plan that will put the Great Lakes at risk for...

In early September there was a visit from a member of the IWA Secretariat to Pakistan. A member of ZSP also attended. Meetings were held with members of Workers' Solidarity Federation from Karachi, Hyderabad and Peshawar, including several public meetings, visits to other activist centers and a few internal meetings and discussions. The public meetings were reported widely in the local press.

Workers' Solidarity Federation is growing in different cities in Pakistan and is the first IWA affiliate in the region. It became a Friend of the IWA several years ago and a full Section at the last IWA Congress in 2025. As part of the IWA's committment to promote the spread of our ideas and practices in new areas of the world, it was decided that the next Plenary and Extraordinary Congress would be held in Pakistan in 2027. Discussions about the planning and logistics of the event where held during internal meetings.

We also discussed the challenges for anarcho-syndicalist organizing in the region and possible areas for campaign.

We'd like to thank the members of WSF for their hospitality during this visit and look forward to continued cooperation and hearing more about their future success!
